Physical Metallurgy : Metals, Alloys, Phase Transformations

Abstract

This compact overview on physical metallurgy provides a detailed coverage of phase equilibria and phase transformations in metals and alloys. It presents the broad range of topics from processes of crystallization and diffusion mechanisms to plastic deformations, recrystallization and phase transformations. It presents the microstructures in various alloys, especially in iron alloys and steels. As an introductory work it is valuable to Material Scientists, Students and Engineers.
